"There was something in the air in the early years of commercial aviation. Perhaps more excitement, perhaps more glamorous stewardesses... in any case, it's worth savoring once again."...

And once again! This is Part 4 of our extremely popular collection (start with Part 1 here); send us more stories and photos of the wonderful flight experiences you had - this time around we also feature a few modern examples of attractive flight attendants. Let's keep the skies full of smiles and beauty!

The following images are taken either from the advertisements, promotions, films, or exhibition events. The girls shown here are not stewardesses in real life... but the image they convey is worth experiencing:

I miss the old days. I hate the current PC environment-- it's like they give you the privilege of paying for the flight instead of appreciating your business. AND, I hate the PC no-smoking nazis that appear whenever they see something like this-- as if smoking was the worst thing in the today's world.

To the person who called me a Nazi; I am not a member of the Nationalist Socialist Party. And I did not comment because of any "PC" tendencies; I spoke up because a friend of mine, a former stewardess, has suffered multiple lung problems and surgeries since her early retirement.Cigarette smoke is poison and you cannot change that by telling lies about people's motives.

Sorry, but there has never been a reliable study proving any link between secondhand smoke and health risks.I'm not the individual who called the other one a Nazi, but I just thought I'd point that out.

Ah, yes, the good old days. We should definitely bring that back. Luckily women are never, ever actually consumers of commercial flights! So we don't have to worry about the fact that they might want a flight attendant who would be attractive to them, or even might be uncomfortable that the staff's uniforms would be designed to make the women sex objects. Thumbs up for nostalgia!

Signs of the times! How nostalgic! I met a Delta stewardess circa 1992 and got to know a bit about the life - travelling all the time, sharing apartments (crash pads) with other women in hub cities - stories of "people who fly who are just clueless and rude", and the occasional ray of sunshine. Nice, intelligent woman - if she's typical, I'd say stewardesses are a great bunch!

"II hate the PC no-smoking nazis that appear whenever they see something like this-- as if smoking was the worst thing in the today's world." - Nazis are not politically correct, and with a death counter at 300.000.000 smoking is actually a pretty solid candidate for worst thing in the world. But I get it, you're old and obsolete and that makes you angry.
